    Obama.... Leaving God out of Thanksgiving!

    He is the same President who repeatedly left out "by our Creator" when he spoke of Americans being "endowned by certain inalienable rights." One would think it would be painful walking with one leg on either side of the fence....

    Addiction

    -- Oh, so close. When you become a Christian it becomes easIER, not easy. Yes, there are some sins against you that would have driven you up a wall when you were still in the world, but are easy to forgive when you are a Christian, but your blanket statement does not make it so for all sins...

    OPRAH...the most influential woman in the world

    True. She has said several times there are multiple ways to get to heaven. Her influence is going to cause many to believe that they do not have to worry about where they are going for all eternity. Sad.

    "How I Wish TV Debates On Homosexuality Would Go"

    -- Honestly Aspen. You sometimes have blank spot where your memory should be. A quick perusal of a number of your posts shows that you too have frequently been "using sarcasm, mocking language and a scoffing aire to make your points....." To point it out in me, but to pretend you yourself do not...

    Addiction

    Addiction isn't restricted to drugs and alcohol. Sexual addiction (especially with the accessability of materials via the Internet) has ballooned in the last two decades. In many cases it has been at least as destructive on the person and their family as drugs and alcohol. But since admission...

    Saw Ted Haggard today :)

    Like many sinners, he confessed after all the cards were already laid out on the table for all to see. It is what happens AFTER you admit your sin and seek forgiveness that counts. If you 'repent' (the best definition being 'turn from sin and change your way of thinking about that sin') then...

    CARM (Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry)

    -- I have seen your "offbeat" questions before. My guess is that they are serious about what they do there and have little tolerance for someone making waves just for the purpose of making waves. That speaks well of them.

    "How I Wish TV Debates On Homosexuality Would Go"

    -- That's exactly what I have asked homosexual advocates who angrily initiate a conversation with me demanding in a loud voice to know why I am so stupid and judgmental as to actually believe that homosexuality is a sin.

    BUSH/BLAIR TO BE ARRESTED

    -- What an absolutely unsupported and uncalled-for response. First plank, THEN splinter.

    Resurrection

    I think where and how we are buried is more for those who remain than for the person who has passed. If I die before Christ returns they can do whatever whatever they wish with my body. I am already signed up to be an organ donor. My friend says that since he is going to be with Christ when...

    Christ as the firstborn

    The problem is that Christians are deciding Jesus' status as fully God and fully human, by their own human standards. They decide that if it doesn't make perfect sense to them then it couldn't be true. It is like the non-Christians saying that the pain and suffering in the world proves that...

    Palestinian position on peace with Israel

    Buzz, I would also mention that those who do a blanket condemnation of all Jews likely will find that God has an issue with that.

    "How I Wish TV Debates On Homosexuality Would Go"

    This is an excellent representation of how a conversation about homosexuality SHOULD go. It accurately addresses the false accusations of judging that are hurled at Christians just because they won't embrace the homosexual lifestyle. FIRST-PERSON: How I wish TV debates on homosexuality would...

    Homosexuality

    You actually refuted nothing. My initial statement was and is correct.

    Palestinian position on peace with Israel

    -- Jesus was one of the biggest critiques of the hypocritical Jewish religious leaders, NOT of the Jewish people themselves. God said that the Jews were his chosen people and that that would never change. One the cross Jesus Himself said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."...

    Homosexuality

    I don't see how you are "begging to differ." As I mentioned, these things 'other than God' are what people are turning to when they are bored, as well. Also, being lonely is not necessarily the "times of trouble" that financial difficulties, family problems, health issues, etc. are. But you...

    Homosexuality

    Someone once told me that whatever you turn to in your time of need - depression, stressful times, disappointments, boredom - THAT is your God. Leaning of food, sex, shopping, Internet usage, social media, etc. I know a number of people who deal with their emptiness by trying to fill the void...

    christian heavy metal?? thoughts & opinions

    Is there non-Christian music that is acceptable to God? Of course there is. Is there non-Christian music that we as Christians should absolutely avoid? Of course there is. Your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is incredibly sensitive and can be grieved. What you take...

    Homosexuality

    -- But if we do not turn away from those SPECIFIC practices, then we ourselves are not redeemed. Paul makes that very clear. Paul himself did say that people practicing those activies are unrighteous and will not not inherit the kingdom of God. It was not his personal opinion, but rather God's...

    Israeli television : Insulting Christianity at taxpayer's expense.

    -- The numbers dead come from the records the Germans themselves kept. Teutonic efficiency and all that. I have read the rest of your tripe and when you start - among other things - comparing Jews to Satan, you have shown that there is no guidance/inspiration/hope from Jesus in you. I have...
